Baby Book

Babies R Us is becoming like a weekend hangout for us these days. We haven't purchased much, but we've definitely logged some time in there, going over the different themes, clothes, furniture, accessories... On Saturday we finally purchased the bedding set that comes with the sheet, comforter, dust ruffle, crib bumper, valance, and diaper stacker. And while we were there I went ahead and bought a baby book.

I wasn't sure if there was some sort of "bad Karma" related to filling out the baby book ahead of time. Since we even know his name we can fill out pretty much everything up to the time and date of birth. You know, when we found out, our reactions, why we chose his name, the family tree. All that stuff. So I got started without thinking much about it. Somewhere in the middle I got very creeped out though, and had to stop. I was having horrible thoughts about how I would feel looking back if something were to happen to Ethan and I had this baby book as a reminder. So I stopped.

But last night I decided to go ahead and finish. Like I told Darrell, if on the off chance anything DID happen to him, everything right up to this point would still be relevant. A tradgedy would not erase the happenings so far. All these wonderful, joyful experiences and milestones would still have happened. And even though he is yet to be born, we still love him and would remember him just the same.

Okay, enough of the morbid thoughts! Ethan's baby book is up and running... just waiting until we can fill out those next pages...
